By Jeff Showalter The halftime score of game 6 in the the first round of the NBA: Bucks 34 Hawks 31. Bad? You bet, but it gets worse. At the end of 3rd quarter: Hawks 60 Bucks 45. If the Hawks win, there will be a game 7 in Atlanta. I implore Commissioner David Stern [...]
by Kent Sterling Tiger Woods shot a 43 on the back nine at Quail Hollow today, and missed his first cut in a non-major since 2005 today, and I’m glad. The continued reports that are released almost daily about Tiger’s behavior and attitude toward women are more than troubling. They are horrific. To tell women [...]
By Kyle Miller I’m pissed. My roommate asked me to play goalie for his intramural soccer team yesterday, and after I showed my excellence between the posts yesterday in two games, I laid an egg in the championship game today as we lost 2-1. The biggest soccer game of my life since sixth grade… and [...]
by Kent Sterling I don’t fib to my wife very often, but when she called from her Mom’s house last night, I ran from the theater and answered her question about whether I had seen a movie with “I’m walking around the mall. That was technically correct, but in fact I had just watched the [...]
by Kent Sterling Lou Piniella believes his expensive baseball players should be playing better. He hopes today will be a better day for the Chicago Cubs, and that Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez will start to hit. The Cubs need a manager who can get them to play better, not hope for it. They need [...]

Donald has been the host of the seasonal radio show “Talk of Gasoline Alley” for 40 years on WIBC and then 1070 The Fan when the 1070 AM frequency flipped to all-sports in [...]

by Jeff Showalter The Boss has just posted on Walter Offutt walking on at IU. Good for him. Injuries and poor judgement have been issues for the Warren Central grad but knees are fixable and kids make bad decisions, in recruiting, every year. I hope Offutt can contribute once he becomes eligible in December. I [...]
by Kent Sterling “There’s something you don’t see everyday,” I said to my wife as we shopped at the Meijer Store on East 96th Street in Fishers, Indiana. What insensitive pricks used to call a midget was busy scaling the shelves in the refrigerated aisle in an effort to keep them stocked. Curious, I took [...]
by Kent Sterling Hey, I don’t want to crap all over Walter Offutt because if he shows up in Bloomington as a walk-on, there is nothing to lose, but as a player during his high school and summer career he was an style-over-substance underachiever. Offutt spent way too much time talking and expended too little [...]
